What it is

Cane sugar is sucrose, a type of sugar extracted from sugar cane plants. Molasses is a thick, dark syrup that is a byproduct of the sugar refining process, containing residual sugar, minerals, and other compounds from the sugar cane.

Why it's used

This combination provides sweetness, flavor, and color to various foods. It is often used in baked goods, sauces like barbecue and ketchup, and confectionery to enhance taste and texture.

Health notes

Both cane sugar and molasses are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars, including cane sugar and molasses, can contribute to health issues, though JECFA has not set an acceptable daily intake for sugars as they are macronutrients.

Allergen info

Neither cane sugar nor molasses are considered major food allergens.
